I don't understand it. I'll receive forwarded messages from well-meaning
friends and family members claiming one thing or another, but when I
respond to them, I get blocked by their ISP as perpetrating SPAM. Why is
that? Why not vet these messages at the source, and not the rebuttal?
Why not filter out a message that claims that Pepsi is a godless
corporation who doesn't have the balls to put "One Nation Under God" on
their cans, instead of filtering the rebuttal that it wasn't Pepsi who
did this, but Dr. Pepper, and those cans haven't been available since
2002? (Here's Pepsi's
statement, and the Snopes
article). Why is
it that rumors that Barak Obama is a radical muslim get free reign,
while the rebuttal gets blocked at the mail server? (Here's the snopes
link for that on as
well).
